Just had an email from Modellbahn Union that they have had to close temporary due to fire in adjacent building. Major fire in Kamen Dear valued regular customers, We regret to inform you that there has been a fire at a neighbouring building at our Kamen site. Fortunately, there were no injuries. Although the fire brigade was able to prevent the flames from spreading to our building, extinguishing water has entered the building and is currently preventing us from continuing operations, as the building is currently unusable. Unfortunately, we are currently unable to say when we will be able to resume operations and which goods were destroyed by the fire. We have therefore decided not to accept any new orders while the situation remains unclear. The order function for all items, apart from new items, is therefore deactivated. You will receive information about your current orders as soon as we are aware of the current situation and can assess the further course of events. Please note that our offices have also been affected and therefore the telephone service is not available and the email service is only available to a limited extent. The shop is also closed until further notice. New products that have not yet been delivered, such as the Desiro HC, are not affected by the current situation and can still be pre-ordered as usual via the online shop. We do not expect any delays in the delivery of future new products. We thank you for your understanding and will keep you up to date here and via our social media channels. You and your Modellbahn Union Team

Thats all I got when I checked mine. Try Screwfix.ie for the wheel. Stuff comes from UK, via DPD but not had any customs issues with items I have ordered

Thought this may be of interest!

My package finally arrived today after sitting in Dublin for 11 days.

The IE livery sits well on the class 60.

Are you on commison Dave? Lol.

Still waiting for mine. Anpost have had the item since 30th August, paid customs 3rd September and still not delivered. Contacted anpost customer services yesterday and was told it is still in customs!!!!

Still no delivery today, just been onto Anpost and they say it can take 3- 5 days before customs release items!! Two weeks today since letter posted!

Strangely enough I had a delivery from MSL lippe in Germany by GLS last week. Tracking originally said out for delivery for Thursday, then later that night got email from them saying sorry we were unable to deliver your parcel, but no reason given, the next day exactly the same thing happened, and it was eventually delivered on Saturday afternoon. Have found GLS can be hit and miss, depending on who the delivery driver is, some knock at the door and hand over the parcel, some just leave it.

I have only delt with them a few times. Last time I ordered online from them it took about three days before they done the order. I did get an email when the order was posted, but no tracking info. You should of heard from them by now, so maybe a quick call to them.

Think Anpost should be renamed 'Failpost' My order from Railtec was posted 23rd August, Anpost received item on 30th , got notification for customs charge on Tues 3rd Sept which I paid and then told item will be delivered. Now two days later still no delivery. Hopefully will arrive tomorrow!??

Not easy for some items though that are not available here in Ireland or elsewhere in the EU.

Just had VAT demand from Anpost customs for my latest Railtec transfer order. First time this has happed with Railtec, but can't complain as VAT is deducted when ordering. One issue to be aware of is Anpost is increasing its admin fee to €4.95 from 9th September!!
